HERE AND THERE.

The Chase Nurseries of Geneva, N. Y,
offer in our advertising columns steady
work and good pay to honest energetic
men.
George Bovee, a II. .year-old boy, had
both legs so badly crushed by the cars at
Oil City last Friday, that amputation be-
low the knee was necessary. The little
fellow never WINGED during the opera ion,
and his physicians say if he recovers that
it will be mainly due to his surprising
grit.
Portions of Fredonia. N. V, evidently
need drainage. A recent DunlSirk dispatch
says: "a short time ago three young la
dies, students at the Fredonia Normal
school, had rooms at Mr.. Morse's, ON Cam
adway street. All were taken sick with
typhoid fever, and one of them, Miss Al
len, of Forestvile, died of that disease.
The cause of the fever is attributed to an
open cesspool in the vicinity of the house.
II. Shelley, of Sheridan, the father of one
of the young ladies, has brought suit
against the corporation"
Cigarette came to me the other day,
smoking and smelling like an old burning
glue pot. Cigarette wasn't to blame. 1t
was the fellow who held it between his
lips. The said fellow talked forty-three
minutes, and said nothing. thought
perhaps he and Cigarette were both to
blame for that. During the space of time
occupied in his endeavoring to prove the
fallacy that nOthingness Is more impor-
tant than the worthlessness of brainless-
ness" he had lit and smoked, or partly
smoked, nine cigarettes !-["Man Puritan"
in Blizzard.
The startling intelligence comes from
Kansas that society of young ladies have
adopted pledge, of which this is copy:
81, the undersigned, do solemnly promise,
God helping me, to abstain from the use
of chewing gum and slang, and also alb
stain from and use my influence against
the use OF tobaccn and intoxicating liquors.
l further promise that l will not keep reg
ular company with any one who l know
uses tobacco, strong drink or profane Ian
guage.' They have printed it on postal
cards and sent it to all the young men in
the place. The sacrifice of chewing gum
and slang is at least commendable.
We have received from the Winchester
Repeating Arms Co., of New Haven,
Conn, unique and artistic lithograph,
fourteen inches wide, by twenty-five inch
es in length. The three exquisite hunting
scenes in colors will be highly priced by
sportsmen. or in fact, by any one who can
appreciate tine picture; and there is also
large calendar Tor 1888, arranged for con-
venient reference and well adapted to the
wants of the business public. They are
neatly packed in strong tubes TO protect
them from injury, and although they are
without doubt expensive, one will be sent
to anv of our readers upon receipt of four
cents to cover postage.
BY far the most novel, convenient, and
valuable business calendar for 1855 is the
Columbia Bicycle Calendar and Stand,
just issued by the Pope Manufacturing
Company, of Boston, Mass. In this cal
endar new departure has been made, de-
cidedly unique and different from any
previous attempt in calendar construction.
The calendar proper is in the form of a
pad, containing 366 leaves, one for each
day in the year, TO be torn Off daily. The
leaves are 81 by p inches, and portion
of each leaf is left blank for memoranda,
so arranged that the memorandum blank
for any coming day can he turned to inn
mediately at any tune. Besides the month,
the day of the month, and the day of the
week, the numbers of the days Of the year
passed and To come are specified, and upon
each slip appears, as in the previous Co
lumbia calendars, quotations pertaining
To cycling from leading publications and
prominent writer's on both sides of the
ocean.
